We're joking for Jayden

TERRITORIANS have rallied together to support a sick little boy after he had his full donation tins stolen from a Darwin toy store.

Jayden Hall's grandmother Krys Roberts said she was "blown away" by the community's generosity, with more than $1500 raised in just one day after the NT News revealed the five-year-old's donation tins were stolen by a woman posing as a relative.

"I'm trying to keep myself together but I've been in tears all morning because of (the kindness of others), we Territorians aren't supposed to do that (cry), we're supposed to have a tough image," she said yesterday.

"I was shocked. I just thought 'you're joking'."

Jayden suffers from epilepsy, autism, a growth on his brain and aphasia and his family has been fundraising to move to Perth for medical reasons.

The two tins - expected to contain about $1400 in total - were stolen from Berrimah Toyworld.
